The Britain’s Energy Coast™ Masterplan is a £2 billion package of regeneration projects that will establish West Cumbria as a centre of excellence for nuclear and other energy technologies including wind power, tidal, oil and gas.

Not only does this exciting programme have the potential to create 16,000 jobs and boost Cumbria’s economic performance by £800 million in terms of Gross Value Added; it could also play an important role in helping Britain’s to tackle the twin challenges of energy security and climate change.

The ‘energy’ in Britain’s Energy Coast™ extends well beyond expertise in the energy industry and will run through all aspects of life for West Cumbria’s proud communities. This is why considerable investment will be made to raise the area’s profile as a superb place to live, work and visit.

By acting locally and thinking globally we can build a brighter future for West Cumbria’s communities and help create a better environment for everyone.

The vision for Britain’s Energy Coast™ is…
 
“By 2027 West Cumbria will be a confident place that prides itself on its strong economy providing opportunities for all and offering a lifestyle of choice.”
